Calculate Subsystem Commands
Calculate commands specify and query the configuration of power measurement channels, known in SCPI
references as Software Calculation Channels, and in this publication as “channels”. See Section 3.2.7 for sensor-
specific configuration and measurement function control.
The query form of CALC#?, with # replaced by the channel modifier (1 or 2), returns the current configuration
status for that channel. This verifies configuration commands or returns current status information following
data acquisition or power measurements.
Figure 3-2: CALCulate Subsystem Commands
LIMit lines are set on a channel basis. These commands set limits, monitor the number of violations, and allow
the violation counter to be cleared.
The REFerence command allows channel-based offset values. For example, using CALC#:REF:COLL automatically
converts the inverse of the current channel measurement value to an offset — simplifying the 1 dB compression
testing of amplifiers.
MIN and MAX commands monitor deviation of measured values over a user controllable time period.
The two Software Calculation Channels can individually and simultaneously perform the internal instrument
functions that calculate final measurement data. The final measurement data is calculated from SENSe
subsystem sensor data as well as the CALCulate subsystem channel configuration data.
This means that only two measurement configurations can be obtained from the 8650B simultaneously. For
example, the controller can obtain measurements for Sensor1 plus Sensor2/Sensor1 simultaneously, but not
Sensor1 plus Sensor2 plus Sensor2/Sensor1 simultaneously.
